Since my car has been sorted properly by Jeff I raced my girlfriends gtst completely standard, my car has been moddified with forged engine and jwt 530 turbos running at a mear 14 psi, I new my car was going to be quicker but OMG diddnt think it was going to be that much quicker, she said she thrashed her car, I literally lost her in my rear view mirror, she may as well been driving a robin reliant lol, I cant wait to turn the boost up, its going to be a monster.

hey mateys, gonna have myself a little project next year and rebuild my own z engine. I am very practical and although i am giving myself a challenge it is something that i want to do and also on a self educating basis (learn how to maintain my engine) i was thinking of nothing huge but i would like to hit the 380 to 400 BHP mark, please can i get help with a list of what i should buy ready for the project? so far i have: Stage 2 ECU Front Mounted intercooler. new timing belt kit (waiting to be fit) what i would like to know is what injectors and stuff i would need to purchase? also as for replacing cables and clips where on earth do…

right it looks as if my clutch slave cylinder is going as im loosing a little fluid. now i already have a braided clutch line waiting to go on when i replace the slave, my question is the bleed nipple in the engine bay, does it get removed when you replace the old lines with the braided one. so i can clean up the engine bay a bit??

im doing a auto to manual conversion, i have the clutch pedal and booster etc out of the car, but theres a wire/switch coming from it, and goes to the loom of the car? does this need to be connected when i put into the auto car? didnt see anything on the guides about it? and woudnt have a clue where to splice it on the loom of the auto car?

can anybody help me by telling me in plain english how to set the timing on my zed? i got the belt ready to fit but need to know so i can line everything up! looked at a tech page and now i am totally confused!:confused: all help very apreciated thanx mark

Would I be better off with Polyurethane Sub Frame Bushing Set or Z1 Solid Subframe Bushings?? Also is this the best value for money kit on these parts?? http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_8&products_id=3115&osCsid=7fa0ce49a8f24237e347c4071ef65941 What else should I do to improve handling?? Already got a set of tein coilovers

As title Silver Z , old raf rd at back of Deeside Industrial park Anyone from here ?? in a world of my own as usual lol , but seen ur flash :D Nice Z by the way;)

I currently have my engine (TT) and various other parts scattered around the house after my old zed rotted away. I had been hoping to get the engine rebuilt and then start looking for a new SWB shell, but my partner recently changed her job and money is alot tighter at the moment so I am thinking about a new plan. My engine was running ok before I removed it so I was thinking of just doing a few small jobs on it myself, all low cost and putting it into a new SWB shell as soon as I can find one. I can always remove it again later for a full engine rebuild when funds permit as it will be a weekend car only. It has already had a few bits done before such as cambe…

Hay guys, do either of you have a set of ramps just spoke to Andy and he says toget it up on ramps to check for cracks in the third arm... Matt, he said when we shock the suspension it may have put it back in line and the second pass may have shook it free again or the rubbers in the camber arm ar shot and collapsed on them selves... again when we shook it it all sat properly.. best to get it on ramps and check under for cracks in the third arm... so have either of you got a set or has anyone else in th area got a set? they an loan me?? Cheerz Neil

Right, bit of a strange one here...... every since the car was damaged te front passenger wheel sits in a the top... so with the help of Matt (cheerz mate) we stripped it down.. well a little any way, neither of us could see anything belt.. we removed the upper camber arm and that all seamed fine we gave it a good shake to free up anything thats wasnt sitting right.. so put it all back together and hay presto all looked good the hub was sitting straight...soput the disc back on and that too was sitting straight, on went the wheel and again that was sitting straight... so took her for aspin round the block... nice and gental, and all was good.. the wheel was still si…

Stopped in a layby to take a piss today. Left the engine running. As I got back in my knee clipped something around the ignition key area - either the key itself or the little release button. Anyway on impact there was a split second high pitch beep noise which I thought was odd. On pulling away though I noticed I had no power steering & the speedo needle was dead (the rest of the dash was working.) I pulled over and switched off thinking a fuse must have gone or summat, but nope. So I start her up again & all is hunky-dory..? Any thoughts?

how can i stop the crank moving when i want to take the pulley wheel off? as soon as i try to turn it the whole thing spins! i would have thought could do it by putting it in gear but its an auto so that wont work. any ideas people? thanx mark

Some picks of zed at Titanic Quarter yesterday.Plus others on photo bucket

heya, looking to change the spark plugs on the 300zxtt but wasnt sure which would be best, anyone have any particularly good/bad experiences?

Hello, I've just bought a beautiful pearl white '95 N/A model. :D Brilliant in every way other than the drivers side indicator bulb is bust, and I'm not too keen on people pulling out on me on roundabouts. For my nissan 100nx it just involved unscrewing the front and the whole indicator pops out to allow access to the back of the lamp, is this the same? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

It's a long shot but does anyone have a chipped ECU lying around I could borrow? I can't get the car to start and after a chat to Jimmer he thinks my standard ECU and 740 injectors will just flood it and stop it starting. I just need to get it on tick over to check oil pressure etc after the rebuild and replumbing of the rads and air intake system. :bow:

Evening all.I am looking for the part number(s) for the rear decals on the hatch/spoiler,I have a jap TT and want to fit the black band that runs across the lower edge of the rear spoiler along with the Nissan Twin Turbo decals,If I go to my local dealer they wont be very helpfull unless I have the Nissan part numbers.Are these items still available from Nissan if so how much do they cost?:confused:

TT UK Manual 94. The last thing on the "to do" list is my dam O2 sensors, having sorted out the following issues since the last dyno. Blocked boost jets - cleaned and fully working Det issue - running in safety, replaced det sensor now working at full boost Sticky throttle bodies - cleaned and fully working Clogged Blitz induction - cleaned and fully working PTU - replaced with Series 2 - fully working Injectors sticking/clicking - cleaned and fully working New stuff plugs, tps, fuel filter, regular oil and filter change, new gear and diff oil, clutch, all silicone hosing. The engine is superb and smooth now, but due to the O2 sensors its ru…

Good to see you out and about mate, spotted the zeds lights from long way away, Nice to see two flashing each other.......:hyper:

well i would like to someone local to me to drive my zed! when i owned my audi s6 i would have a comparison car to drive which my mate owned, so i basically knew if my ride was running as it should, i would also like to drive someone elses , auto ! anyone.i know its a long shot! just need a second opinion on how it drives. or how it should.

I like the look and feel of my standard rims and they are in great condition but was thinking they'd look better black. Any one got any ideas where/who does that and general cost? Cheers, Bob

Saw a dark grey TTzed on the back of a trailer parked in the yard where there's the cossie specialist garage near the hospital. I spoke to the bloke at the garage and he said to speak to Mick. If you're thinking about breaking or selling it I might be interested in some parts.:smash: Looks really nice though.

Hi I think mine is playing up but not had chance to look at it. Does anyone know how much they cost and are they easy to replace. Wolveszx
